Awesome plugin

Akash Rudra, 2025-02-06

The tool is impressive; however, there's a minor bug: when you click on a link from a different page, such as GitHub, it doesn't activate automatically. You need to refresh the page manually to add the custom headers. maybe it just doesn't work on newly created TAB, but I'm not sure
